The manor with its settlements was sold to the noble family von Brockendorf zu Naumburg in 1425 and fell to the Lords of Brandenstein in 1448. From 1571 to 1815 Rockendorf belonged to the electoral office of Arnshaugk and, after its assignment, decided at the Congress of Vienna , came to the Prussian district of Ziegenrück , to which the place belonged until 1945. On April 14, 1945, American troops were in Rockendorf.
